- Selective inhibition of 10−8 M [125I]MIBG or [3H]serotonin uptake by monoamine transporter inhibitors in human platelets or SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells in vitro. Selectivity was expressed as the IC50 ratio of the MIBG uptake in SK-N-SH cells over that in platelets. SSRI Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; TCA Tricyclic antidepressant; TeCA Tetracyclic antidepressant
